<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/pdf_expert_5.1_universal_620px.png" alt="PDF Expert 5.1" width="620" height="300" /></p><p>Apple and Beats isn't the only acquisition making headlines this week: <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/29/samsonite-scoops-up-iphone-case-maker-speck-products/" target="_blank">TechCrunch reported Thursday</a> that legendary suitcase manufacturer Samsonite is acquiring smartphone and tablet case maker Speck Products in an $85 million cash deal. Speck is one of the top four accessory makers for such devices, and with an estimated $2.3 billion worth of cases sold in the U.S. alone last year, it's not hard to imagine why Samsonite wants to enter that market. On the other hand, Apple may have overpaid for Beats Music, according to a new report. Read on to find out more!</p><h3>Beats Music Reportedly Worth Only $500M to Apple</h3><p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/articles/apple-paying-just-under-500-million-for-beats-music-streaming-service-1401403287" target="_blank"><em>The Wall Street Journal</em> reported Thursday</a> that Apple may be getting a relative bargain for upstart streaming music service Beats Music, which is said to only make up $500 million of the $3 billion purchase price for Beats Electronics. Despite Apple PR twisting the narrative to put the focus on Beats Music, the audio hardware business appears to be where the money is, reportedly bringing in $1.3 billion last year alone compared to the subscription-based music service with 250,000 customers paying at least $10 per month — an estimated value of only $100 million.</p><h3>Readdle Releases Universal Update for PDF Expert</h3><p>We're big fans of universal apps, which offer more bang for the buck by allowing iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad owners to buy once and install on any device. If you happen to own PDF Expert 5 for iPad, you just received a bonus thanks to the <a href="http://readdle.com/blog/2014/05/announcing-universal-pdf-expert-5-1/" target="_blank">release of version 5.1 on Thursday</a>, which Readdle has magically transformed into a universal build that now works great on the iPhone and iPod touch as well. Prior to yesterday, Readdle sold separate versions of PDF Expert, which allows iOS users to edit and annotate PDF files, fill forms, sign documents, and much more. The latest update is free for existing users and the newly universal app is still $9.99 for everyone else.</p><h3>1Password Updates Browser Extension with Bevy of Improvements</h3><p>Updates to our favorite Mac applications are always welcome, but they're especially nice when they improve upon daily use in lots of small ways. <a href="http://blog.agilebits.com/2014/05/27/1password-button-4-2-the-greatly-improved-edition-is-out/" target="_blank">The folks at AgileBits released a big little update to the 1Password button</a>, which works with Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers to connect the web to data stored in the Mac or Windows application. The so-called "Greatly Improved Edition" 4.2 now fills usernames and passwords "where they're supposed to go," makes short work of "fancy hidden login forms," behaves better when filling in credit card details, and offers a whole host of other improvements and bug fixes across all browsers. The extension should have automatically updated by now, but if not, users can manually update from their browser of choice or reinstall from 1Password 4 for Mac.</p><h3>Amazon Prime Music Streaming Could Be Limited to Older Tunes</h3><p><a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/reggieugwu/amazon-prime-to-offer-music-streaming-service" target="_blank">BuzzFeed reported Thursday</a> that Amazon will indeed launch its rumored Prime-based music streaming service this June or July, but don't expect the hottest new music to be part of the mix. According to five industry sources familiar with Amazon's plans, the e-tailer will "restrict its catalog to songs and albums that are six months old and older," presumably at the request of music labels who don't want to hand over their golden goose to Amazon Prime members paying $99 per year. In this regards, the music offering would be similar to Prime Instant Video, which offers a scattershot selection of older movies and TV shows on top of free two-day shipping.</p><h3>Mustbin 1.5 Introduces World's Most Secure Messaging</h3><p>Concerned about sending sensitive data over just any old messaging service? The folks at Mustbin <a href="http://mustbin.com/blog/read/introducing-the-worlds-most-secure-messages" target="_blank">released version 1.5 of their iPhone app this week</a>, and one of the headline features is none other than Secure Messaging, which the company touts as "the world's most secure." Messages between other Mustbin users are protected by end-to-end encryption for complete security and privacy. Mustbin 1.5 also introduces Bin Sharing, which allows users to securely share photos and documents with people in your address book. Better yet, bins update in real time, so even if you update content days or weeks later, recipients will still get access to the latest and greatest. Mustbin is a free download from the App Store and requires iOS 7.0 or later.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/pdf_expert_5_620px.png" alt="PDF Expert 5" width="619" height="300" /></p><p>After being announced <a href="http://readdle.com/blog/2013/11/announcing-pdf-expert-5/" target="_blank">nearly two weeks ago</a>, the latest version of Readdle's PDF Expert 5 for iPad is now available for purchase from the App Store, complete with an all-new iOS 7 look and feel.<br /><br /><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id743974925?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank">Readdle released PDF Expert 5 for iPad on Tuesday</a>, the latest version of the company's $9.99 tablet app for annotating, filling forms and just about anything one would want to do with PDF files.<br /><br />First the bad news: PDF Expert 5 is not simply an upgrade to the previous version, instead requiring all users to again pay $9.99 for the latest and greatest. That quibble aside, the previous version continues to work just fine with iOS 7 and will be supported for the next year.<br /><br />So what's new? Readdle has adopted the flatter, cleaner look of iOS 7, but PDF Expert 5 doesn't require that version and can be used with iPads running iOS 6.0 or later. The app also gains a completely new file manager, a Favorites sidebar, OS X Mavericks-style color tags, Windows SMB support and the ability to download files in the background while viewing or editing.<br /><br />PDF Expert 5 also features a completely new PDF viewer offering full-screen annotations, smart zoom, AirDrop support, snapping and guides and even a text-to-speech Audiobook mode that taps into iOS 7's built-in API.<br /><br />Last but not least, PDF Expert 5 debuts Review Mode, a Microsoft Word-style innovation that allows users to revise the text inside PDF documents while retaining the original copy, perfect for sharing files with teams, teachers or editors.<br /><br /><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id743974925?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank">PDF Expert 5</a> is now available as a $9.99 purchase for all iPads running iOS 6.0 or later.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.
